Summary

DOJ filed a cross-appeal regarding remedies in its antitrust case against Google.
Google had previously appealed remedies ordered by a DC District Court judge.
Remedies include sharing search data and barring exclusive AI deals.

The Department of Justice has officially cross-appealed from the remedies decided in its antitrust case against Google regarding the monopolization of internet search and advertising. This action was announced by the DOJ Antitrust Division via a post on X on Tuesday.

This development comes just weeks after Google itself initiated an appeal and sought a stay on the remedies mandated by DC District Court Judge Amit Mehta last year. These ordered remedies included provisions for Google to share its search data with rivals and prohibitions against exclusive distribution agreements for its search and AI products.

However, the court did not compel Google to divest its Chrome browser. Furthermore, Google was not prevented from compensating distribution partners for the preloading or premium placement of its search or AI offerings.
